Courtesy of leaving our damned border open so Obama & Co. can play Santa Claus. And try to buy votes.
A mother who watched her cop son gunned down in front of her, his wife and his children allegedly at the hands of two illegal immigrants has vowed not to rest until his 'worthless piece of s**t' killers are dead.'
Heartbroken Marie Vega was on a family fishing trip with her husband Javier, son Javier Jr., his wife Paola and their three children when they were ambushed by two armed Mexican illegal immigrants who have been deported SIX times before in total.
And what kind of 'We're just looking for jobs!' people are these?

charges in connection with a string of similar attacks in Cameron County
over the last six weeks, believed to be linked to the infamous Gulf

Well, this is a pain in the ass
I need to pull the flywheel on the Honda engine so I can change the cam chain and tensioner/guide. Problem: everything I can find shows a puller for a flywheel threaded on the inside of the shaft hole, and this
is threaded on the outside. Which no tool catalog at any bike shop shows as correct for this year/model.
Don't you love it when you find out what you have isn't what the books show?

My contribution to the 'Is there any difference between (updated)
7.62x51 and .308?' is this from the folks at Bulk Ammo
The only specifics I can ever remember is that military brass tends to be thicker-walled than commercial, thus the same propellant charge tends to give higher pressures.
Update: received this from this gentleman:
A few years back a government document was revised from "CUP psi" to just read "psi" and this wrong information has been repeated over and over again by folks who should know better.
When you measure 7.62x51 or 308 Win by the same method, you get the same pressure standards.
The REAL difference is in "port pressure" where milspec ammo has a requirement to meet, but commercial 308 Win does not. This is really only an issue with oprods for M1As and converted Garands.

Yeah, this is going to work out well
For the gang members, that is.
Teenage criminals and gang members from Central America have been using “a loophole” to stay in the country, border agent Chris Cabrera revealed. Under current policy, unaccompanied minors are allowed to stay in the country if they have family in the United States and say they have none in their home country, regardless of their background.
“Even if he is a confirmed gang member, a confirmed criminal, even by self-admission, we for some reason don’t send them back to their home country — we release them into our country,” Cabrera said.
So, is Obama so desperate to suck-up to hispanics that he doesn't care? Does he consider the gangs coming in a plus? Do the dirtbags in the Chamber of Commerce who want cheap illegal labor want it so bad they don't want even the gang members filtered out? Some of all the above?
Why isn't he getting the Christie treatment? Because Gov. Howler is a socialist anti-2nd Amendment Democrat, why else?
I missed something yesterday: the date the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Ace has a bunch of stuff on it, including a link(pdf) to Thank God for the Atomic Bomb, a piece that retains ability to piss off all the right people. Including this paragraph:
Arthur T. Hadley said recently that those for whom the use of the A-bomb was "wrong" seem to be implying "that it would have been better to allow thousands on thousands of American and Japanese infantrymen to die in honest hand-to-hand combat on the beaches than to drop those two bombs." People holding such views, he notes, "do not come from the ranks of society that produce infantrymen or pilots."

And while President Lightbringer is playing golf
and trying to save Hamas, there's a bunch of children and adults being killed. And he won't bother to do anything other than 'make a statement'.
The Yazidi city of Sinjar and the towns of Tal Afar and Zummar, captured on Sunday by the Islamic State, remain under jihadi control. Some 200,000 of their citizens fled, mostly to Kurdistan. But about 40,000 are now in a truly desperate situation, trapped on Mount Sinjar, where they had fled on foot without provisions and are now dying. Quoting a UNICEF spokesperson, the Washington Post reports today: “There are children dying on the mountain, on the roads. There is no water, there is no vegetation, they are completely cut off and surrounded by Islamic State. It’s a disaster, a total disaster.”
...
Yesterday 45 children died of thirst. Some families throw their children from the top of Sinjar mountain in order not to see them die from hunger or thirst, or not to be taken by the terrorists. 1500 men were killed in front of their wives and families, 50 old men died also from thirst and illness. More than 70 girl and women including Christians were taken, raped and being captured and sold. More than 100 families are captured in Tel afar airport.
The statement?
We urge all parties to the conflict to allow safe access to the United Nations and its partners so they can deliver lifesaving humanitarian assistance, including to those Iraqi families reportedly encircled by ISIL on Mount Sinjar. The United States is committed to helping the people of Iraq as they confront the security and humanitarian challenges in their fight against ISIL. Iraq’s leaders must move swiftly to form a new, fully inclusive government that takes into account the rights, aspirations and legitimate concerns of all of Iraq’s communities. All Iraqis must come together to ensure that Iraq gets back on the path to a peaceful future and to prevent ISIL from obliterating Iraq’s vibrant diversity.
These clowns are going to sit around while Rwanda II occurs. And then blame the dead for not being accommodating enough or something to the demands of ISIL.

Attention Mark Steyn: I think Michael Mann would fit in here
very nicely:
However, I think it’s time that we develop a metric that will clearly indicate if a scientist has an overblown public profile so that we can adjust our expectations of them accordingly. In order to quantify the problem and to devise a solution, I have compared the numbers of followers that research scientists have on twitter with the number of citations they have for their peer-reviewed work. This analysis has identified clear outliers, or Kardashians, within the scientific community. I propose a new metric, which I call the ‘Kardashian Index’, which allows a simple quantification of the over, or under, performance of a scientist on social media.
This 'Security is an excuse for anything' crap has to stop,
At the end, the Judge ordered both sides to request a transcript since he ordered us to do additional briefing. But when it was over, the government secretly, and surprisingly sought permission to “remove” classified information from the transcript, and even indicated that it wanted to do so secretly, so the public could never even know that they had done so.
In the end the .gov decided 'Oh, there was nothing classified revealed after all.' Which makes you wonder whether they ever thought there was, or if they were just trying to hide something from the public.
Not to idiots like Rivera.
...Looking back in history, you see serfs, servants, and slaves are rarely armed because of the possibility of rebellion and uprising; owning a gun is a statement that “I will never be subjugated.” … Obviously, this doesn’t fit well in a progressive worldview that aims, whether they realize it or not, to restore an aristocracy.
Speaking of,
James Brady is dead, and they're using his still-cooling corpse as a collection plate.
Politicking does tend to plumb the Marianas Trench of class.
This seems to fit in: the whining and bitching about 'locally-sourced foods ONLY!':

And in the comments, something wonderful: Why do we send our boys overseas to fight wars against people we can't even see from our houses when there are "localvores" right in our neighborhoods who need to be punched in the junk?

Israel is trying to win the battle for survival, while surrounded by
enemies. Might that not be more important?

Well, it is CNN...
Earlier today I wrote about how the clip posted below proves that CNN is more civil to terrorists than to conservative Republicans. Today, though, CNN is making a huge deal out of the fact that Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan won't retract his comment about Jews putting Christian blood in matzoh -- as though Hamdan isn't a savage terrorist representing a savage terrorist organization but is instead a legitimate political organization that said something inappropriate, untoward, and insensitive.
Ah, Mr. Miller, you do have a way with words:
So for the sake of honesty, let’s not use the word ‘Palestinian’ any more to describe these delightful folks, who dance for joy at our deaths until someone Points out they’re being taped. Instead, let’s call them what they are: ‘Other Arabs Who Can’t Accomplish Anything In Life And Would Rather Wrap Themselves In The Seductive Melodrama Of Eternal Struggle And Death.’ I know that’s a bit unwieldy to expect to see on CNN. How about this, then: ‘Adjacent Jew-Haters.’ Okay, so the Adjacent Jew-Haters want their own country. Oops, just one more thing: No, they don’t. They could’ve had their own country. Anytime in the last thirty years, especially several years ago at Camp David. But If you have your own country, you have to have traffic lights and garbage trucks. And Chambers of Commerce, and, worse, you actually have to figure out some way to make a living.
That’s no fun. No, they want what all the other Jew-Haters in the region want: Israel. They also want a big pile of dead Jews, of course that’s where the Real fun is — but mostly they want Israel.

The engine is out,
which was fun. And I've found some things from past 'maintenance' that I'm going to have to take care of. Some of it is missing nuts and incorrect bolts, and I also found the big carb problem: the choke lever had been installed incorrectly, so the choke was always partly on. That, at least, was easy to fix.
And now I'm off to Ace Hardware. If they ever get rid of those bins of nuts and screws and bolts and such, I'm in trouble.

Law enforcement is much more concerned about sovereign citizens, Islamic extremists, and militia/patriot group members compared to the fringe groups of the far right, including Christian Identity believers, reconstructed traditionalists (i.e., Odinists), idiosyncratic sectarians (i.e., survivalists), and members of doomsday cults. In fact, sovereign citizens were the top concern of law enforcement, but the concern about whether most groups were a serious terrorist threat actually declined for most groups (e.g., the KKK; Christian Identity; Neo-Nazis; Racist Skinheads; Extremist Environmentalists; Extreme Animal Rights Extremists).
See any mention of Occupy there? Notice the downgrading of the eco-terrorists?
And just who's behind this?
The National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) is supported in part by the Science and Technology Directorate of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through a Center of Excellence program based at the University of Maryland…
A doc has some thoughts about some of the scare-stuff going around about Ebola. Short version: "This ain't Africa, and some of this isn't as bad as people think."
Awww, Pelosi got her feelings hurt. And then lied about getting an apology.

They really seem to dislike that 'due process' stuff, don't they?
Apparently 'domestic violence' is the magic phrase that makes those troublesome civil rights go away.
George Mason University law professor Joyce Malcolm said the bills under consideration “ride roughshod over” some of the “key rights” in the U.S. Constitution.
Blumenthal’s bill, she said, would allow the seizure of firearms from anyone subject to a temporary restraining order upon the filing of such a complaint.
“The police would be sent to search for, and forcibly seize, any firearms found in his possession. This is a serious infringement of due process, an Alice in Wonderland world in which, like the Red Queen, the new rule is ‘Sentence first! Verdict afterwards,’” Malcolm said.
I've been told by cops that 'Anybody can get a restraining order on anyone. You could get one on me, just by filling out the paperwork.' And according to Blumenthal, that should mean the cops get to raid my house and take my property.
Which sounds like that bill being pushed in Californicated in which someone could claim you're not safe to own guns, upon which the cops could raid you, doesn't it? These clowns REALLY want those SWAT teams kicking in doors, don't they?

If I were Israel, it'd take a while to word a proper response
to this idiocy.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay made the charge this week, declaring that Israel should share its defense capabilities, known as the Iron Shield, with the same Hamas-sponsored terrorists whose missiles it deflects on a regular basis.
...
Not satisfied with pillorying the Israeli offensive against surrounding enemies, Pillay also severely criticized the U.S. for providing assistance to the besieged nation.
I cannot understand the thought processes of these idiots. Is it simply hatred of Jews, or some twisted "If you keep them from killing your children, you're a criminal" stupidity?
I think Lawdog had it right in his "If I were elected President" piece:
Since I like to copper my bets, I'd draw an advance on my first months paycheck, buy a truckload of dynamite and order the Commandant of the Marine Corp to de-infestate the UN building.
While the Marines are chucking UN politicos off the pier, I'd be personally setting charges in the UN basement.
At lunchtime, I'd have a cheeseburger and fries and watch the UN building go up like a Roman candle.
I would add one thing: ...are chumming the waters and then chucking UN politicos off the pier... Yeah, might upset the sharks digestion; they'd get over it.
Speaking of stupid, there's Queers for Palestine. Which is a level of dumb that's hard to describe.

“They have not only provided the heavy weaponry which is now being used by Israel in Gaza,” she concluded, “but they’ve also provided almost $1 billion in providing the ‘Iron Domes’ to protect the Israelis from rocket attacks.”She lamented the fact that no similar “protection has been provided to Gazans against the shelling.”

With the following removed:

Carburetor
Among the things that need doing is some muffler repair
It's still amazingly quiet(Honda does mufflers quite well), but this has to be fixed. After browsing around to see if a replacement is available(no), I'll find a piece of suitable sheet steel, cut and bend it to fit, and have it welded on, then the whole system will get a coat of header paint. If it can't be welded, then I'll have to find some aftermarket slip-on that'll work.
Next step is to drain the oil, and remove the engine so I can replace the cam chain and tensioner/guide. And somewhere in all this take down the carb for a serious cleaning. It's been a long time since I messed with one, this may be touchy. I think the first thing after pulling the engine will be spraying it with a degreaser and washing off all the crap that accumulated from that slight fuel-line leak, though.

It's about damned time
Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act Lawsuit pursued against the
Department of Justice by government watchdog Judicial Watch, the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia has ruled a list of documents being withheld from Congress under President Obama's claim of executive privilege must be turned over. Obama made the claim on the
same day Attorney General Eric Holder was voted in criminal and civil
contempt of Congress in June 2012.
"This order forces the Obama DOJ, for the first time, to provide a detailed listing of all documents that it has withheld from Congress and the American people for years about the deadly Fast and Furious gun running scandal," Judicial Watch released in a statement.
Yes, I know; the bastards will still lie and stonewall. This is still a step.

My first thought is "You were warned, you morons."
My second is "How well did the union bosses make out in this?
Roberts and other UMWA members were arrested Thursday marching through Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, towards the federal building the Environmental Protection Agency was holding field hearings for a new rule that could very well force more coal mines and plants to shut down.
Roberts was leading about 5,000 coal miners, their families and supporters to show the EPA that coal miners, boilermakers, electric workers and other unions did not support the Obama administration’s new regulations limiting carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants.
“This was an expression by the leadership of the union and the solidarity for our members when our jobs are on the line … it’s what it’s all about,” Roberts said while being arrested.
UMWA District 31 vice president Mike Caputo said the Pittsburgh rally was only “the first shot of the battle” against the Obama’s administration’s regulatory agenda.
Yeah, the 'leadership of the union' that sold the membership out. Again, wonder what they got for it?
Probably better than the Border Patrol's getting.
According to Shawn Moran, the vice president and spokesman for the National Border Patrol Council, scabies and lice are the two main infestations that his agents come across. He adds that chicken pox, measles, H1N1 and tuberculosis are also pretty common. Really, he says they see a whole gamete of diseases and that’s what his men are most concerned with.
Moran tells KDKA Radio’s Mike Pintek that there have been agents who have been hospitalized with respiratory illnesses that they believe came from their job. He says the agents understand going into the job that this is one of their responsibilities.
